Pyrimidine 5' -nucleotidase (P5'N-1) deficiency is the third most common enzyme abnormality after glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase causing hereditary non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. The degree of hemolysis is generally mild-to moderate.
